 The news was circulated around rapidly yesterday among many of cur older residents and especially among older members of tho United church that Miss Mary Dutton, so long, years ago, the head of a young ladies' boarding school conducted in Grove Hall, Grove street, was very low and expected to survive but short time. Her school ranked as one of the best in this section of the ooun:: try and was very successful; and many ladies now and for years past in social circles of note and influence in many parts of the country looked up to her with reverence and affection which the lapse of time has far from obliterated.
 She is a sister of the late Rev. S. w. S. Dutton, who was for years pastor of the old North church in this city, and one of the prominent Congregational pastors and theo- lorians of southern New England The de- ceased was devoted to the anti slavery cause. and in the dark days for Kansas, when it's destiny whether as free or 8 slave State hung in the balance, she was one of those who gave rife at the great meeting at the North church when men, money and rifles were pledged for free soil in Kansas.

THE SEASON FOR wooDCocK.
The Prospects in Connecticut Aftt
 

The Prospects in Connecticut After
 August l.
 The season for woodcock shooting begins August 1. The dry weather in the early spring was favorable for the young birds matched late in March or early in April, and the indications are that the sport will be better than usual this season. There are many New Haven gentlemen who will now hunt woodcock. The game laws of New Jer- sey and other States permit the shooting of woodcoek in July, but the second broeds are alike unfit for sport and for the table in that month. The woodcock being a migratory bird is not exterminated as many other species of game have been, because of the senseless game laws, but October is the earliest date that woodcock shooting should be permitted. Without further quarreling with the game laws, except to say that quail, rabbits, grouse and song birds are wantonly killed in August every year by the are here offered to the young sportsman.
 For general sporting purposes gun weigh ing from 714 to 8A pounds will be found the most serviceable. Such gun should be No. 12 gauge, although many prefer No. 1O. Twenty-eight to thirty-two inches is the proper length of barrel. The ordinary charge of gun, of the foregoing dimensions is from three to three and one-half drachms of powder, and from one to one and one-quarter ounces of shot. For summer cock-shooting the minimum charge of powder and shot is quite sufficient. AL though easily killed, woodcock are by no means readily found, and dogs-and good dogs, too-are required to insure anything like full game bag. Remember that a meat diet destroys the scenting power or nose of the best dogs, and let their food be of a fari- naceous character for few days before and during the shooting season.
 Hammerless guns are now the favorites, their chief excellence being in their greater safety. By dispensing also with stock and barrel, absolute immunity from danger is guaranteed. Summer cock shooting on Long Island is attended with much discomfort, and sometimes, because of the mosquitoes which infest the swamps where birds are found, with actual suffering A little pen nyroyal rubbed occasionally upon the neck and hands goes far toward alleviating this annoyance.
